Bill > HR7352

This bill, the Barriers and Regulatory Obstacles Avoids Deployment of Broadband Access and Needs Deregulatory Leadership Act (or the BROADBAND Leadership Act), aims to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to streamline the process for siting telecommunications service facilities. The key provisions include establishing timelines for state and local governments to approve or deny requests to place, construct, or modify telecommunications facilities, limiting the fees that can be charged, and allowing for judicial review of decisions that are inconsistent with the bill's requirements. The bill also preserves the authority of states to regulate telecommunications services and manage public rights-of-way, while preempting any state or local laws that violate the bill's provisions.
